About Kalam
Kalam is a valley located at distance of 99 KMs from Mingora along the bank of Swat River . Kalam is surrounded by lush green hills, thick forests and bestowed with mesmeric lakes, meadows and waterfalls which are worth seen features of the landscape. It is the birthplace of Swat river which forms with confluence of two major tributaries of Gabral river and Ushu river.
In terms of altitude, Kalam is close to Murree, but it seems far higher than the other popular hill station because it is surrounded by tall peaks as far as the eye can see. The most prominent peak is Falak Sar (5,918m), capped by pristine white snow at the top. The valley is flooded with lush greenery, beautiful mountains and majestic water falls.
